System OverviewThe Aqua Logic is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The AquaLogic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Logic is easy touse, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate thecontrol.

NOTE: This manual assumes that the Aqua Logic has been wired and configured according to the Instal-lation Manual. Aspects of the Aqua Logic that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.

AutomationThe AQL-PS-4 (-8, -16) can control up to 4 (8, 16) high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to4 (8 for the PS-16) automatic valve actuators, and 2 conventional heaters plus a solar heater. Both manualand automatic (programmed) operation are available. All of the control functions can be programmed at adisplay/keypad which is part of the main unit (typically located near the pool equipment) or at one or moreremote display/keypads.

ChlorinationWith the use of the optional AQL-CL chlorination kit, the Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine genera-tion system for pool and/or spa sanitization. If enabled (see Configuration Menu), this operation requiresa low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logic automatically con-verts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine will revert back tosodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle, virtually eliminating theneed to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool/spa. The only time you may need to add more salt to thepool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation).

The Aqua Logic is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swimming pools up to40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount of chlorination required to properlysanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness.

For pools larger than 40,000 gallons, the Aqua Logic can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlori-nators to supplement chlorine production.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa usingnatural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation specialistshould be consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stoneused around a saline pool with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

Default DisplayTurn power on at the main panel and turn the Aqua Logic control power circuit breaker on. The keypadwill show the default display. The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or spa)temperature, pool/spa sanitizer setting, and salt level. Under certain circumstances, additional displaysmay be added to the default menu to inform you about system operation. Refer to the Programming MenuFlowchart on page 7 to view all possible displays. The Aqua Logic will automatically scroll through all ofthe available default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.

Optional Remote Display/keypad shown--the display keypad on themain control unit will have a “Service” button in the upper left

corner instead of the “System Off” button.

Manual System OperationWhile the main objective of the Aqua Logic is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, theremay be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manu-ally. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the followingprocedures. Note that if you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually,or the next time the programmed automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Example: thefilter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow thenormal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.

Output NamesThe Aqua Logic is shipped from the factory with each output labeled with a generic name (e.g. AUX1,VALVE3, etc.). One of the features in the software (see Configuration Menu, page 16) is that each outputcan be assigned a new name that is more descriptive of the equipment being controlled. This makes it mucheasier to operate all of the equipment on your pool without having to memorize what each output controls.Insert name labels are also provided to be placed next to each display pushbutton. Since there is no wayto know how your particular system is configured, this manual will use the original generic names for eachoutput.

Pool Filter PumpThe pool filter pump can be manually operated whether in Standard (single pump) or Dual Equipment(separate pumps for both pool and spa) mode. When in Standard mode, the display will refer to the poolfilter pump as “FILTER”. When in Dual Equipment mode, the display will read “FILTER PUMP”.

Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “FILTER” button to turn on the pump.Pressing the “FILTER” button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, andit is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you pressthe “FILTER” button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the “FILTER” LED will flash and thedisplay will indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the“FILTER” button again to turn off the filter pump.

4

Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “FILTER” button to turn on highspeed operation of the filter pump. The “Filter” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “FILTER”button again will switch to low speed operation and the “FILTER” LED will flash. If you attempt to switchto low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for3 minutes before switching to low speed to allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. IfFreeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the preset freeze protectiontemperature (see Filter Pump Configuration), the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate thewater.

Spa Filter Pump (when using Dual Equipment)Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “AUX1” button to turn on the pump.Pressing the “AUX1” button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, andit is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you pressthe “AUX1” button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the displaywill indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes ofheater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the “AUX1”button again to turn off the filter pump.

Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “AUX1” button to turn on highspeed operation of the filter pump. The “AUX1” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “AUX1”button again will switch to low speed operation and the “AUX1” LED will flash. If you attempt to switchto low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for3 minutes before switching to low speed to allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. IfFreeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the preset freeze protectiontemperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the spa filter pump to circulate the water.

Lights and Aux OutputsStandard Relay: Manual operation of all relays (LIGHTS, AUX1 and AUX2 for a PS-4 model, LIGHTS,AUX1 - AUX6 for a PS-8 model, or LIGHTS, AUX1 - AUX14 for a PS-16 model) is identical. Assum-ing that the relay is currently off, simply press the appropriate button to turn on the relay. If the relay doesnot turn on, it probably is due to the “interlock” feature (which was set up in the Configuration Menu) beingactivated that requires the filter pump to be running and the valves to be in the pool-only position. Thisprotects pumps and other equipment from possible damage. If the controlled output is on, pressing theappropriate button again will turn off the relay. Manual turn off is disabled if the “Freeze Protection”feature is enabled and the air temperature is less than the selected freeze temperature threshold.

Dimmer Relay: If Lights or an Aux output is configured as a dimmer, pressing the corresponding buttonwill generate a temporary display which shows the dimmer output level (Off - On 100%). Pushing the “+”or “-” button changes the level in increments of 20%. When the desired output level is displayed, press thecorresponding button again to turn off the display and return to normal operation. When the Lights or Auxoutput comes on again (either manually or automatically), the dimmer output level will be the same as thelast time that it was set.

Pool/Spa ValvesPool-only or Spa-only systems: The POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button has no function.

Standard Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: In pool-only mode (“POOL” LED illuminated),press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA” LED illuminated).Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only. Note that the filterpump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

5

Standard Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (“POOL”LED illuminated), press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA”LED illuminated). Press the button again to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LEDilluminated). Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only mode.Note that the filter pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: The POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER buttonhas no function. The “POOL” LED will always be illuminated.

Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the separate Pool andSpa loops mode (“POOL” LED illuminated) and the Spa Filter is off, press the POOL/SPA/SPILLOVERbutton to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED illuminated). Press the POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button again to return to the separate Pool and Spa loops mode of operation. Note that thePool Filter pump will shut off while the pool/spa return valve is turning. The system will automaticallyswitch out of spillover whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.

Note: For Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems, there is no Spa Only mode.

HeatersThis description applies to Heater1 and to Heater2, if programmed (note that the function of the Valve4button changes to Heater2 when Heater2 is enabled). Pressing the “HEATER” button causes the AquaLogic to switch the heater control output between a “forced off” state and a normal, automatic thermo-static control operating state.

System OffEach remote display/keypad has a red “SYSTEM OFF” button on the upper left corner of the keypad.Pressing this button will turn all outputs off and they will remain off, regardless of any programmed controllogic, until either the “SYSTEM OFF” button (on any remote display/keypad) is pressed again or the“SERVICE” button is pressed on the display/keypad at the main unit. The red “SYSTEM OFF” LED willilluminate to indicate that all outputs and being forced off.

! WARNING: pressing the “SYSTEM OFF” button overrides any programmed freeze pro-tection and may cause damage to your system in freezing conditions.

ServiceThe main unit keypad has a “SERVICE” key. This button is used primarily during servicing of the poolequipment. If you want to completely disable the automatic operation and operate the system manually,you can put the system into Service or Service-Timed mode by pressing the “SERVICE” button. Pressingthe “SERVICE” button once will switch the system into service mode which means that all automaticfunctions are disabled, and the remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emer-gencies). The red “SERVICE” LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode ofoperation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which isvery similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after3 hours. During service timed operation, the “SERVICE” LED will flash and the time remaining will bedisplayed on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation. SeeTroubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 36) for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System OperationThe Aqua Logic controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spentworking on your pool. Most of the pool equipment can be programmed to operate on a timeclock basis.In addition, the desired pool and spa temperatures and pool and spa chlorinator settings can be pro-grammed. This section will guide you on how to program the automatic operation for each function.

The programming of automatic functions can be performed at either the main display/keypad located at thepool equipment pad or the in-home remote display/keypad.

Using the programming buttonsThere are 5 buttons on each keypad that are used for programming (refer to diagram).

There are 4 steps to programming any function:

1. Menu Press the “MENU” button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of thebutton will rotate through all 5 menus and return to the starting point.

2. >>

Press either key to scroll through the various items in the selected menu. Multiplepushes of the button will rotate through all menu items and return to the startingpoint. Only menu items that are applicable to your pool will appear. (Example: ifyou don’t have a spa, then no spa related menu items will appear).

3. + Once a menu item has been selected above, the current setting/selection will ap-pear (flashing) on the display. Use the “+” and/or “-” keys to change this selec-tion. Sometimes “+” and “-“ will adjust a value up or down (example: heatertemperature setting or timeclock on/off time). In this case, pushing the “+” or “-”will change the value by one increment and holding the “+” or “-” button in formore than one second will make the values auto scroll. In other cases, the “+” and“-“ may toggle between 2 options (example: turning superchlorination ON orOFF).

4. >>

Menu After you have adjusted the item to the desired value, simply move on to the nextmenu item to “lock in” your new setting. The Aqua Logic memory will maintainthe setting, even if power is removed for an extended period.

The Aqua Logic’s five main menus have many items in each that allow you to customize the operation ofyour pool/spa equipment. The chart on the previous page shows the Aqua Logic’s five menus as well aseach menu’s specific settings.

The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.)with nothing to set. The Aqua Logic will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have beenpressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display.

The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operationof your pool. The Configuration Menu is used when the system is installed and defines what equipment isconnected to each output and the operational logic that will control the equipment. This menu is normally“locked” and should only be used by a pool professional. Details regarding the Configuration menu can befound on page 16.

The “Diagnostic Menu” is primarily intended for the service technician and contains information and detailsabout the system operation that are helpful in troubleshooting, if problems occur.

Settings MenuThe Settings Menu allows you to set all system operating parameters except the timeclock and countdowntimers which are part of the Timers Menu.

! Important: All of the displays shown below use the default generic names for each functionor output. The Aqua Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equip-ment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

Timers MenuThe Timers Menu allows you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automaticoperation of your pool/spa system.

Each timeclock has a single on/off program per day. All of the timeclocks are setup (Configuration Menu)either as “all days” or “weekends/weekdays”. If “weekends/weekdays” are selected, you will need toprogram on times for both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, evenif you want them to be the same. All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments (9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A,etc.). If you program the on time equal to the off time (“10:00A to 10:00A”) the output will NEVER turnon. If you want to disable a timeclock, you can set the on time equal to the off time and you will notice thetimes disappear and the display simply shows “Off”. If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock,simply press either the “+” or “-“ buttons to go back to a normal timeclock programming display.

The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to amaximum of “21:00” (21 hours). When “Manual On/Off” is displayed, the countdown timer is disabledand the output will be manually controlled. When a countdown timer is equal or greater than “0:05”,pressing the appropriate output button will turn the output on and start the timer. Pressing the button againwill turn the output off or, when the programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.

! Important: All of the displays shown below use the default generic names for each functionor output. The Aqua Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equip-ment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

For one speed pumps, this is the first filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours offiltration for the pool. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filteroperation set to “spillover”, the valves will automatically switch to spillover mode at the startof the filtration period. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filteroperation set to “pool only”, the valves will switch to the pool-only position. Refer to page11 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

For two speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at highspeed (the word “Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Hi”). There is aseparate timeclock for the low speed operation (see below). If the high speed and low speedperiods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.

There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclockperiod set above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heatercooldown, freeze protection, heater-extend and solar-extend.

For one speed pumps, this is the second filter timeclock

For two speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for filter pump low speedoperation (the word “Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Lo”). If the filterpump was off prior to the start of this time period, the filter pump will first turn on at highspeed for 3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will drop down to lowspeed for the remainder of the programmed low speed time period. While this time clock willoverride the high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons why the pump willautomatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed time period. Theseinclude manual operation, spa operation, or heating operation.

This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”.During the programmed spa time, the Aqua Logic will move the pool/spa valves into the“spa-only” position and turn on the filter pump. The heater will automatically heat the spaup to the programmed spa temperature. This programmed spa operation will take precedence

over all other automatic functions, only manual operation of the filter button or pool/spavalve button will override this function.If your pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled by Aux1 and/or Aux2 , you will haveto program those separately (see below).

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for timeclock. The lights will turn onand off at the designated times. The only override on this function is manual on/off controlby the “Lights” button.

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for countdown timer. This setting isthe time after you manually turn on the lights until the Aqua Logic automatically turns off thelights. You can also manually turn off the lights at an earlier time by pressing the LIGHTSbutton.

This menu is only available if the system has been setup for Dual Equipment. For one speedpumps, this is the first spa filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of filtration forthe spa. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled, the valves will automaticallyswitch to pool only at the start of the filtration period.

For two speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the spa pump runs at highspeed (the word “Spa Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Spa Filter Hi”). There isa separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see below). If the high speed and lowspeed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.

There are several reasons the spa filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclockperiod set above. These include spa operation, manual operation, heater cooldown andfreeze protection.

For one speed spa pumps, this is the second filter timeclock

For two speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for spa filter pump lowspeed operation (the word “Spa Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Spa FilterLo”). If the spa filter pump was off prior to the start of this time period, the filter pump will firstturn on at high speed for 3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will dropdown to low speed for the remainder of the programmed low speed time period. While thistime clock will override the high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons whythe pump will automatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed timeperiod. These include manual operation or heating operation.

For PS-4, Aux1 and Aux2 configurations are identical. For PS-8 models, Aux1 - Aux6 configurations are identical. For PS-16 models, Aux1 - Aux14 configurations are identical.

This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for timeclock. The Aux1 output will turnon and off at the designated times. If the Aux1 relay is off during the programmed on time—note that some pool equipment (example pressure side pool cleaner) can only be operatedwhen the filter pump is running and the pool/spa valves are in the pool-only position—theAqua Logic will keep the relay off until these other conditions are suitable for operation. Ifthe Aux1 relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze protection.Also, manual operation overrides the timeclock. Refer to page 11 for general notes regardingtimeclock programming.

This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for countdown timer. This setting is thetime after you manually turn on the Aux1 relay until the Aqua Logic automatically turns offthe relay. You can also manually turn off the relay at an earlier time by pressing the AUX1button.

NOTE: The configurations for Valve3 and Valve4 are identical. However, if Heater2 was enabled, then the Valve4configuration will not appear (a single relay is used to implement either the Heater2 function or the Valve4 function--it can not do both).

This menu will appear only if Valve3 is configured for timeclock. The valve will rotate on andoff at the designated times.

This menu will appear only if the valve3 is configured for countdown timer. This setting isthe time after you manually turn on the valve3 relay until the Aqua Logic automatically turnsoff the relay. You can also manually turn off the valve at an earlier time by pressing theVALVE3 button.

Larger pools or when you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, acloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount of chlorine to beintroduced to the pool, may require more hours of Superchlorination. Smaller pools requireless hours of Superchlorination.

Group FunctionThe latest version of the Aqua Logic offers the ability to assign a Group function to a particular button.Instead of a button controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequenceof commands that are programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights buttonturning on and off the pool light only, the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on thebug light, turn off the pool cleaner, turn on and dim the patio lights, turn on the music, etc. all at the sametime. This convenient feature is offered on all Aux buttons, both Valve buttons and the Lights button. Referto this section when programming Group commands.

Before assigning and configuring all the desired functions and their control parameters, the group itself mustbe configured. The options for controlling groups are Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, and Timeclock.The group will turn on and off based on this selection.

When setting up a Group function in the Configuration Menu, the first menu allows you to select the controlparameter (how the group is activated and de-activated) and the second menu allows you to select whichAqua Logic functions are to be controlled in the group.

A table of functions and their corresponding control parameters are listed below.

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how theAqua Logic is configured. For example, if the Aqua Logic is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” willnot be available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will bedisplayed but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as anoption and will automatically turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Groupfunction under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights functionwill automatically turn on with the group.

The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which shouldbe selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters willdepend on the particular function selected.

When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate willoverride any previous Group functions.

Heater Setpoints in GroupsThe Aqua Logic can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) whilerunning group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal,while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.

Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint controland revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normalheater setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint thatwas originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the Group is running,go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint willchange and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint.

Super ChlorinateThe Aqua Logic can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until thepreset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns off. Changing theSuper Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlo-rinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’s control of Super Chlorinateuntil the next time the Group is activated.

PS-8 and PS-16 Virtual ModelsAqua Logic Virtual models are similar to standard PS models, but offer additional auxiliary outputs withlimited functionality. The AQL-PS-8-V is similar to the AQL-PS-4 with 4 additional Aux outputs. TheAQL-PS-16-V is similar to the AQL-PS-8 with 8 additional outputs. The additional aux outputs on virtualmodels can only be assigned to the Super Chlorinate function (if the Chlorinator is enabled) or to a Groupfunction. Refer to the following programming information when assigning functions to the virtual auxiliaryoutputs.

If disabled (default), then neither the cell nor flow switch need to be installed andall displays relating to the chlorinator will be suppressed.

When the chlorinator is enabled, the Aqua Logic will automatically detect and control anyAqua Rite(s) that is installed in the system (see page 21).

DisplayAllows for the display of salt (default) or mineral values.

Cell Type SelectionThe Cell Type Menu appears after “Display Salt/Minerals” in the Chlorinator ConfigurationMenu. The options are T-CELL-5 or T-CELL-15 (default). Make the proper selection basedon the electrolytic cell that is used in your system. For pools up to 20,000 gallons, the T-CELL-5 is typically used. The T-CELL-15 is for pools up to 40,000 gallons.

Pool/Spa SetupIf “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected, then the pool/spa valves are not needed andpushing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and Spa-Std” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connectedto the Aqua Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will allow thehomeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation. If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected,then only the Pool/Spa return valve actuator should be connected to the Aqua Logic.

For more information on “Pool and Spa-Std” and “Pool and Spa-Dual”, refer to Section 3,Plumbing, on pages 9-12.

HeatersThis menu will only appear if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Dual”. This allows theheater(s) to either be shared between the pool and spa (“Shared” selected) or for Heater1 tobe dedicated to the spa and Heater2 to be dedicated to the pool (“Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool”selected).

Spa CountDnThis menu will appear only if Pool/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Std”. This setting is thetime, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the Aqua Logicautomatically returns the valves to their previous positions. It is programmed in incrementsof 5 minutes, from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to “21:00” (21 hours). The filter is forced onduring this time period.

Spa SpilloverWhen spa spillover is “Enabled” and “Pool and Spa-Std”, the homeowner will be able torotate through “Pool Only” (both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only”(both suction and return valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched topool and return valve switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa” button. For“Pool and Spa-Dual”, only “Pool Only” and “Spillover” are available.

Filter OperationIf “Spa Spillover” is selected, the Aqua Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suctionand return valves to “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or

19

when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position forthe remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because boththe pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized.

If “Pool Only” is selected, then the Aqua Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “poolonly” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floorcleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/orthe super chlorinate is running.

V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled,Valve 1 (return) will follow the Aux1 output and Valve 2 (suction) will follow the Aux2 output.When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally.

Filter Off Valve ChangeThis menu appears only if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa”. When enabled (default),the filter pump will shut off for 35 seconds whenever the Pool/Spa valves are turning. Thepump will NOT shut off when the heater has Cooldown enabled and is either on or in theHeater Cooldown mode.

Filter NameThe Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Filter Pump, PoolFilter, Spa Filter, etc.) to the filter relay. This will make the Aqua Logic more user friendly to thehomeowner when they want to control the filter equipment. A sheet of small name labels isincluded with the Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that appropriatepushbuttons can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.

Filter PumpFor 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must alsobe configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump (see page 14 for wiringand page 31 for AUX configuration). See the Operation manual for specific informationregarding the control logic for 2-speed pump operation.

Flow MonitorThis feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow. When used with aGoldline flow switch, the Aqua Logic monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump ison. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Aqua Logic will shut down the poolpump and the “Check System” LED will indicate an error. The error will be cleared the nexttime the pump is turned on.

20

Freeze ProtectionFreeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze threshold(see below), the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool andSpa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 24), the valves will also alternatebetween the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valvesare turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pumpis running.

Freeze Protection TemperatureSelect the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF- 42ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that havefreeze protection enabled.

NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically bedisabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.

Heater1If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is lessthan the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperatureis in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate“pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valves, theproper temperature setting will be used.

Heater NameThe Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Gas Heater, HeatPump, etc.) to each of the heater control functions. This will make the Aqua Logic much moreuser friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various heaters on or off or settemperatures. A sheet of small name labels is included with the Aqua Logic main unit andeach remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as thename that you have assigned.

Heater CooldownThis feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. Whenenabled, the Aqua Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heaterturns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown,X:XX remaining” message will scroll on the display.

When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once willcause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filterLED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will overridethe heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.

21

For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1and/or Heater2 cooldown affect the filter pump. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 is associatedwith the spa filter and Heater2 with the pool filter.

Heater ExtendIf “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-offtime until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see SettingsMenu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turnoff time when the heater is operating.

For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1and/or Heater2 will keep the filter pump running. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 will keepthe spa filter running and Heater2 will keep the pool filter running.

Allow Low SpeedThis menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed operation. During defaultoperation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on. If Allow Low Speed isenabled, low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

SolarThe Solar configuration menu will NOT appear if “Pool and Spa - Dual” has been selected inthe Pool/Spa setup menu. If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional stepsmust be taken to ensure proper operation of the solar heating system. If the solar is operatedby a valve, then a valve (Valve3 or Valve4) output must be setup for solar logic (page 29). Ifthe solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic(page 31). Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typicallymounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is available.

If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature isless than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water by atleast 8ºF. The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeownerwill be prompted to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending onthe position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.

Solar ExtendIf “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-offtime if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solarvalve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause thefilter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.

Solar PriorityIf both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keepthe conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most costeffective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heaterwill operate normally.

Lights NameThe Aqua Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Pool Light, SpaLight, Deck Light, etc.) to this control function. Note that other lights may be assigned toother Aux outputs. This will make the Aqua Logic much more user friendly to the homeownerwhen they want to turn various lights on or off. A sheet of small name labels is included withthe Aqua Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Lights” pushbuttoncan be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a goodidea to make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the samename as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.

Lights FunctionAlthough designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to theAux relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function,Low Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection are notapplicable and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used tocontrol other pool devices that may require these options. The function of each option isshown below.

Manual On/Off—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTSbutton is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.

Countdown Timer—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. Thelights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in OperationManual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relay wheneverthe low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.

Timeclock – the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclockin the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button canalso be used to turn the output on and off.

23

Solar – the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filterpump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperaturesetting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu forproper operation to occur.

Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the lights relaywhenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pooland Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.menu) must be selected for proper operation.

Group – the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off whenthe Group function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for theGroup function.

Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights orValve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to thisfunction.

Lights RelayThis feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay forthe Lights output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” isdesired. When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the “+”and “-” buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the nexttime the lights are turned from off to on.

Lights InterlockIf enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,Timeclock) selected above and turn the lights relay off when: filter pump is off, first 3minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when thepool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is notavailable for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.

Lights GroupThe Lights Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the“Lights” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programminginformation. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group commandwill be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menuselects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.

When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that isinitiated will override any previous Group function.

Lights Freeze ProtectionThis function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage.If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freezetemperature threshold, the Aqua Logic will energize the lights relay. IMPORTANT: this onlyenables operation of the lights relay during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu toenable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not available forlow speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.

Quick “How To” GuideOperate the Spa—Manually

1. Press the “Pool/Spa” button to go to “spa-only” operation (“SPA” LED illuminated). In somecases, this may take more than one press of the button.

2. If the filter pump is not already on, press the “FILTER” button to turn it on.

3. If the spa is below the desired temperature, the heater will turn on automatically when the filterpump is on and the valves are in the spa-only position. If you have not already set the desiredtemperature for the spa, see “Set Heater Temperature” below

4. If the spa has a separate jet pump and or blower, determine if the jet pump/blower is con-trolled by Aux1 or Aux2 (it should be marked on the label inside the door). Then press theappropriate button to turn on the jets/blower.

Operate the Spa—Automatically1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa—all days” or “Spa—weekends” is displayed.

3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired start time, then press “>” to switch to the offtime. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to adjust the off time. If you are setting the “weekend”timeclock, press “>” to go to the “weekday” settings.

Note: During the programmed spa time, the valves will automatically switch to the“spa-only” position, the filter pump will turn on, and, if the spa is not up to the desiredtemperature, the heater will start. This operation is the highest priority and will takeprecedence over other automatically programmed operations. At the end of the spaperiod, the Aqua Logic will return to its normally programmed operation state.

Set the Heater Temperature (or turn heater permanently off)1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Heater” or “Pool Heater” is displayed.

3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the temperature. If you adjust the tempera-ture below 65ºF or above 104°F the display will indicate “off” and the heater will not operateregardless of temperature.

Note: Separate temperatures for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in thepool-only or spa spillover positions, then the heater will use the pool setting. If thevalves are in the spa-only position then the heater will operate according to the spasetting.

Set the Chlorinator Output1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed.

2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Chlorinator” or “Pool Chlorinator” is displayed.

3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the setting. If you adjust the setting to 0% thechlorinator will be off all the time.

There may be otherautomatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see amore detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclockor in Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information.

32

Enter/Exit Service (or Service—Timed) Mode1. Go to Aqua Logic main unit (normally mounted near the pool equipment)

2. Pressing the “Service” button rotates through normal operation (red LED off), service mode(red LED on continuously) and service-timed mode (red LED flashing).

Note: This operation can only be performed at the main Aqua Logic unit. Both “Ser-vice” and “Service-Timed” disable all automatic programmed operations and allowmanual operation from the main unit only. The buttons on the remote display/keypadswill still be able to turn equipment off in case of an emergency, but will not turn anyequipment on. If the system is in “Serviced-Timed” it will automatically switch back tonormal operation at the end of the time period.

Chlorinator Operation / Water ChemistryGeneral Water ChemistrySalt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Aqua Logic Control. If you are NOTusing the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations be-sides salt. Refer to the description of the Aqua Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/disabling the chlorinator (see page 16).

Water ChemistryThe table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Profes-sionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.

Saturation indexThe saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the poolwater “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water iscorrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling andstaining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Logic’s optional chlorinator func-tion. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecideto the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Aqua Logicsystem.

Salt (When using optional chlorinator function - requires AQL-CL chlorination kit)

Salt LevelUse the chart on the following page to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added toreach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.

The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older poolswhere chlorine added to the pool over time has ended up as salt. If the level is low, determine the numberof gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. A low salt level will reduce the efficiencyof the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Aqua Logic to stopchlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimmingseason should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing,backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

Type of Salt to UseIt is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be foundat most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common foodquality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning saltpellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1%of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add SaltFor new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulatingpump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—donot allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction comingfrom the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse through-out the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together.Use the chart on page 34 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

System MaintenanceTo maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Logic will remind you to do this by displaying the message“Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation.

The Aqua Logic electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic.In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. In areas wherewater is hard (high mineral content) or in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get “out ofbalance”, the cell may require periodic cleaning.

Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Logic CellTurn off power to the Aqua Logic before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed, look inside the celland inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates and for any debriswhich has passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If depositsare seen, use a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plasticor wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits off ofplates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (oldpool water is usually the cause). If this is not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. Thesimplest way to avoid this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.

Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majorityof deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Logic. Remove cell from piping. In a clean plasticcontainer, mix a 2:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to two quarts of muriatic acid).ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber glovesand appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of thecell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring beforeimmersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose.If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.

WinterizingThe Aqua Logic electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing water just as yourpool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or extended periods of freezingtemperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before anyfreezing conditions occur. The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and shouldnot be removed.

If you are in an area that only experiences occasional freezing conditions, your Aqua Logic system may beset up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to 38ºF. Make sure the air sensor isrecording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze pro-tection operation.

Spring Start-upWhen first starting the pool in the spring time, it is highly recommended that you temporarily set the pooland spa chlorinator settings (Settings Menu/Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer) to 0% (off) and then manuallyshock the pool with any chlorine based shock product and balance the pool water chemistry per the levelsindicated in the Chlorinator Operation section (page 31). Make sure to check the salt and stabilizer levelsand bring them up to the recommended levels. Your local Authorized Aqua Dealer or pool store canrecommend the best chemical treatment for your pool. After the water is clear and balanced, then go backand adjust the pool and spa chlorinator settings to the appropriate levels. Test the pool chlorine levelweekly and adjust the chlorinator settings up or down accordingly.

It is usually a good idea to also inspect the cell and clean if necessary at the start of the season. Seeinstructions above.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostic InformationThe Aqua Logic provides 2 different tools to aid in troubleshooting any problems that may occur in yourpool and/or spa system. The Service mode will allow you to disable automatic operation and manuallycontrol most of the equipment (the heater and general purpose Valve3 output are the exceptions). TheDiagnostic Menu will provide some detailed information regarding system operation.

While both of the features are primarily intended for the use of the professional service technician, theirfunction is fully explained below. If you believe your system is not operating properly or have questionsregarding the operation, call the Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to8PM EST at 888-9221-7665.

Service ModeThe main unit keypad has a SERVICE button that is used primarily during servicing of the pool equipment.

If you want to completely disable the automatic operation and operate the system manually, you can putthe system into Service or Service-Timed mode by pressing the “Service” button. Pressing the “SER-VICE” button once will switch the system into service mode which means that all automatic functions aredisabled, the optional remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies).The outputs can be manually controlled by pressing the buttons on the local display/keypad. The red“SERVICE” LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manu-ally taken out of service mode.

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which isvery similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after3 hours. During service timed operation, the “SERVICE” LED will flash and the time remaining will bedisplayed on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation.

Check System IndicatorThe “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Aqua Logic detects any of the following conditionsthat are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of your pool.

• Inspect Cell -- for optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Aqua Logic chlorinator cell ap-proximately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The Aqua Logic will automatically remindyou when it is time and display “Inspect Cell, + to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean thecell (see instructions, pg 28) and then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset thetimer.

• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- when the salt is too low the Aqua Logic willgenerate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary (seeinstructions, pg 35) before adding salt (see instructions, pg 32).

• High Salt/Amps/Minerals -- the Aqua Logic will stop generating chlorine under certain high saltconditions in order to protect the internal electronics from damage. The only way to lower the salt levelis to partially drain the pool and add fresh water.

• Water/Pool Sensor -- if the water or pool (if Dual Equipment) sensor is either an open or short circuit.

• Air sensor -- if the freeze protection feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/ Filter Config.) and the airsensor is either an open or short circuit.

• Solar/Spa sensor -- if the solar (if solar is enabled), (Configuration Menu/Solar Config.) or spa (ifDual Equipment) sensor is either an open or short circuit.

39

• Chlorinator Cell sensor -- if the chlorinator function enabled (Configuration Menu/Chlorinator) andthe cell sensor is either an open or short circuit.

• PS-16 Communication Error -- if an AQL-PS-16 and the Expansion Unit is not responding.

• Low Volts -- if the chlorinator cell voltage is too low.

• No Cell Power -- if no chlorinator cell power is detected on the printed circuit board.

• Chk Flow Switch -- if the flow switch input is invalid.

• Cell Power Error -- if a chlorinator cell power error is detected on the printed circuit board.

• No Flow-Filter Pump -- if the filter pump is on and the flow switch indicates no flow for 15 minutes ormore.

• Cell Missing -- if the chlorinator is enabled but no cell is detected.

For helpful troubleshooting information on any of these issues, go to the Diagnostic Menu and then scrollthrough the various items until you see the cause for the “CHECK SYSTEM” LED being illuminated.

Diagnostic MenuTo enter the Diagnostic Menu, press the “Menu” button repeatedly until the display shows “DiagnosticMenu”. At this point, you can use either the “<” or “>” buttons to scroll through the various menu itemswhich are described below:

+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell+/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell84ºF is the water temperature at the cell3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time

For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must be happening: the filter pumpmust be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be setgreater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and thesalt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, thechlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s possible to have more than onereason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display willappear.

If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operating normally but is in theoff part of its normal operating cycle. Simply press either the “+” or “-“ key to start a newcycle.

The Aqua Logic periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the cell in orderto automatically clean off any calcium deposits. It is important that you check the chlorinatoroperation in both polarities. To do this, press either the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinatorwill turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.

If a conventional or solar heater is operating, it is likely that the temperature of the water atthe cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature displayed on the Aqua Logic defaultdisplay.

Instant Salt3200 PPM (+=save) Move to previous/next menu item

Press to load the “Instant Salt” into the averaged salt display+>

>This display shows “Instant Salt” or “Instant Minerals” (if Chlor. Config. is set for “DisplayMinerals”). The “Instant Salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps), and watertemperature at the cell. This is different than the “average salt” value which is displayed aspart of the default menu. There are a number of reasons why instant and average saltreadings may differ. Some of these include salt having just been added to the pool and notyet thoroughly mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and the cell aging.

NOTE: If Pool and Spa-Dual is selected, the solar sensor will display as “Spa Sensor” and thewater sensor will display as “Pool Sensor”.

If the sensor appears to operating properly, then the temperature will be displayed. If thistemperature is not correct then check the placement of the sensor. If the problem is notplacement related, then the sensor will, most likely, require replacement. If the display is“Open Circuit” or “Short Circuit” then check the wiring to the sensor and also make sure thatthe wires are secure in the terminal block in the Aqua Logic main unit.
